Notes: Different years' FMAPs were used because States reported data from different time periods. Arkansas and Iowa data cover State fiscal year 2001; California data cover calendar year 2001; Maryland data cover State fiscal year 2001; and New Jersey data are projected for State fiscal year 2003. With recent funding relatively stable, the different time periods should not materially affect the comparability of the data.
